Just as cooks pray for a good crop of young animals and fishermen for a good haul of fish, in the same way busybodies pray for a good crop of calamities or a good haul of difficulties that they, like cooks and fishermen, may always have something to fish out and butcher. (Plutarch, "On Being a Busybody")

It got both Judy Redman and April DeConick wrong, and it scored Dorothy King at 50% though leaning on toward the female side, so I wouldn't worry too much about it. My guess is that academics are being thought of as "male" and shoe-shopping "female". Not a terrible assumption to make on the internet, but it's quite simply a wrong one to make.
